PREVENT BADGER CULLING
(CONCLUDED)
Tell Natural England How Badger Culling will Negatively Impact Your Business, Livelihood or Daily Activities in this consultation. Badger culling is cruel, terrible for biodiversity, costly and not efficacious in controlling disease. Despite this, Natural England is looking to approve applications for supplementary licences to cull badgers.
This consultation allows the public to raise potential impacts a cull may have on their business, livelihood or daily activity. Natural England must then review and take these responses into account. Unfortunately, this consultation cannot be used to directly plea for the badger's lives, or even state how ineffective killing badgers is. Responses must be concerning negative impacts on businesses, livelihoods and daily activities.
WHAT IF I JUST DON'T AGREE WITH KILLING BADGERS?
The consultation does seem deliberately very specific and by their own admission to date the Government haven't found any badger culls to "have had a negative impact on local tourism or business".
